In recent years, class ranking has become more and more of a problem, and many schools are starting to eliminate the system. Students are starting to recognize how much every little bit of their education counts for getting into college and getting scholarships, so people are starting to see class rank as a barrier. But, as of 2015, more than sixty percent of schools still use the grade classification system. This means that students in more than sixty percent of U.S. schools have one more thing to add to their list of things to be stressed about. Even though 40% of schools in the United States no longer use class rank, schools that do not use it may still be affected by the system. If class rank becomes a deciding factor in college admission, a student at a school that does not use class rank will be at a disadvantage because his or her class rank is listed. Therefore, only for some schools the elimination of the class classification system is not sufficient (BE-7). To prevent class rank from negatively impacting students, it must be removed from all schools. This would also force colleges to stop looking at class rank as a factor in admissions. Efforts to remove the class grading system are futile if all schools do not participate in the process of removing the grade grading system
